The Portlands will play the Haverhill
Blues again this afternoon, and fine game
o. ban may be looked for, as the Haverhills,
made up as theyaSe now, are strong club,
and the team that-w a game from them
has got to play ball. Play begins at 3.
PoRTLANDs, 13; HAxERHILLs, 8.
Hatfield was thshero of the day yesterday,
and but for his fine pitching in the last five
innings Of the game, the result would proba-
bly, have been different. Quinn started in to
pitch for the Portlands, but In the 4th ne lost
all control Of the ball and could net get 1t
over the. plate. The Haverhills scored five
runs in that inning, and took the lead. so Ia
the 9TH Hatfield went into the box. But one
hit was made off his delivery, and that was
In the ninth, and scratch at that. Mahaney
hit hot one, which struck Hatfield in the
leg and glanced of to Dickerson, who could
not field IL soon enough to save the hit. The
Hayerhllls tried hard to hit the ball as the
game was about as much theirs as it was the
Portlands until the ninth. but only twice
could they get the ball out Of the diamond,
and not man got beyond first base. Lally
pitched for the visitors, and did well up to
the ninth. Up to then the POrtlands had
made 10 with a total of II hits, and the score
was toS. They then wentin and made six,
with total Of seven hits, and earned five
runs, and put the game out Of the Haver-
hills reach.
Both clubs scored their first runs in the
second inning. The Portlands scored one on
two hits, a wild pitch and put-out. and the
Haverhills two on three hits and wild
pitch. The visitors added another in the
third on couple Of hits and put-out. In
the fourth the P0rtlands scored six runs.
-Four singles and double, a base on balls, q
wild pitch, and an error by Clare were the
cause Of them. In their half Of the same
inning. the visitors regained their lead, but
by no good work Of their own, as the first
man was hit by pitched ball and the next
three were given their bases ON balls, fore
ing one man in. A single by Burns and
triple by Bradley brought the other four in.
These were their last runs, however, as Hat
field moved them down in one, two, three Or
der after that. The Portlands tied the score
In the fifth, Duffey hitting safe, stealing sec
ond and coming home on two wild throws.
In the ninth, Hatfield was first at the bat
and hit safe to left field. He stole second,
and Thayer hit to left. sending Hatfield to
third, the plucky catcher taking second on
an attempt to put out Hatfield. SchOeneck
hit bounder to left field, and both scored.
Duffey hit to right field and stole second,
Schoeneck going to third. Quinn hit to left,
sending both men over the plate. and he
took second on the return of the ball. An
drus brought him in with a twO-bagger,
which struck the right field fence near the
top-almost home run. Diekerson was the
third man out, sending up fly which Pot
ter captured.
The Portlands feIded finely and batted
heavy. But one fielding error was made by
them, and there were number of fine plays
Thayer took Manning's long fly off the left
field fence, in regular Horning style, and
DAWN made fine catch and throw to the
home plate, holding man on third. Hat
field made one of his brilliant catches Of a
foul fly in the first, and good stop and as
sist in the sixth. The visitors played fair
fielding game, Sheehan making some good
stops Of hard hit balls. Gardiner started In
to play, but was taken sick In the second in
ming, and Mahaney took centre field, Potter
going to second. This was not bad change
by any means, as the latter player made two
fine catches and played a good second. Brad
ley led In the batting for the visitors, and
Schoeneck and Duffey for the home team.
Lynch umpired. Following is the score:
